I disliked the people in Athens much more than I disliked the people in Paris, even though the people in Paris pretended not to speak English. With the possible exception of the Italians (and the staff at the Intercontinental Hotel in Berlin) I've never really been impressed with European customer service.
All in all, I like France, and I vote we keep it.

Second. I never found the French unpleasant, and generally more-than-helpful. Maybe it helped that I do or did speak French, I guess, and usually they would not guess me to be American, perhaps also a help.
